I believe I never even bothered to download 10 and was running WMP9. Well, with WMP11, apparently I can talk to my Xbox 360 without download the Xbox Media Connect software which needs administrator access and needs to be run as a service, which I didn&#8217;t particularly like. So I decided to upgrade to WMP11 and see how it works. I haven&#8217;t tested it yet, but will let you know when I do. I don&#8217;t use WMP11 anyways. There&#8217;s always <a href=\"http:\/\/www.afterdawn.com\/software\/video_software\/video_players\/media_player_classic.cfm\">Media Player Classic<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.videolan.org\/vlc\/\">VLC<\/a> and they basically cover everything I need. Of course you&#8217;ll need the &#8220;plug-ins&#8221; like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.free-codecs.com\/download\/Real_Alternative.htm\">Real Alternative<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.free-codecs.com\/download\/QuickTime_Alternative.htm\">Quicktime Alternative<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got to say though, the new player looks a lot better than the old one. Much sleeker.<\/p>\n<p>Oh yah, the Japanese phrase that appears above the green pig(s) (are they even pigs?) says:<br \/>\n\u307f\u3093\u306a\u306e\u4e2d\u306b\u3001\u79c1\u306f\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002 &#8211;&gt; I am inside everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Not really sure what it&#8217;s trying to say, but I&#8217;m guessing seeing how the pigs are coming out of his snout\/mouth, I&#8217;m guessing it&#8217;s pretty literal.<\/p>\n<p>The phrase underneath the green pig says:<br \/>\n40th \u65e5\u672c\u30c6\u30ec\u30d3 &#8211;&gt; 40th Japanese TV<\/p>\n<p>Guess this animation was done for the 40th anniversary for this TV station.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just wanted to wish Happy Birthday to Mechy, since he no longer signs onto AIM.
